I hate these threads. Someone posts this question constantly, people offer somewhat reasonable responses, and (I assume) the same annoying poster shoots down every suggestion with reasons the job will in fact be replaced by AI.

AI might supplement what a nurse does but it won't replace a nurse.

Obviously.

This is what most people here don't seem to understand. Machinery didn't replace slavery/sharecroppers, it just made it where fewer were needed for any given situation.

So while A.I. won't completely replace most fields, it WILL replace about 95% of the jobs in an average field that will benefit from the A.I. and robotics.

A current example are fast food places replacing someone at a register, with a robot kiosk. There will still be a manager to attend to kiosk/customer troubles, but now there are several less workers needed to tend the front counter.

So Starbucks tried that kiosk approach and their business is tanking. I go to the coffee shop where they know my name. I don’t think the hospitality industry can do away with people.

A.I. and bots will have facial recognition. You won't even need to place an order it will know what you want as soon as you park in the parking lot. "Hello ________, my most valued customer! Lovely that you are here again! Your seat has been vacated of homeless bums and college age incels who try to live here, and cleansed to your satisfaction! Enjoy your beverage prepared by robotic hands free of all germs and diseases!"

Yes, so I’ve stopped reading them. Why would I waste my time?

Online courses have been a thing for a while. Professors/teachers will DEFINITELY be replaced by AI and laptops.

Teaching is definitely safe. Some aspects may change (like more online instruction), but I’d love to see an AI program actually manage a classroom.

How’s AI going to get 30 teenagers to sit down at a computer to work? How’s AI going to keep 25 elementary school kids in a classroom?

Those students will be "remote" and school from home.
But if public in class schools still exist in the future, discipline could easily be handled by robotics or shock collars, ankle monitors, or the like? Just thinking outside the proverbial box here.

This. Maybe not at the Pre-K through 6 levels, but definitely for middle and high school. It would solve the behavior problems and chronic truancy nicely, and there's a contingent of bright, quiet kids who would probably prefer it to the chaos and drama in brick and mortar classrooms.

Really. With all the complaining about online training during the Covid school shutdown, you really think parents are going to willingly send their kids back t to online remote schooling.

With the increasing discipline problems in public schools, parents will gladly do online schooling.

yoooooooooo.....this is not correct....at all

By 1860, cotton accounted for nearly 60% of U.S. exports, and the number of enslaved people in the South had exploded from about 700,000 in 1790 to nearly 4 million.

Only about 5% of slaves from Africa were sent to the USA, because increasing advances in machinery was making large numbers of slaves less needed.

95% of slaves from Africa went to the Carribbean and South America, where manual labor was in great demand due to lack of technology.

Now you have learned something. Quit copy-pasting stuff also.

You must be trolling or else never ever set foot outside of a concrete jungle. 1 tractor can do the plowing of 1000 men.

The cotton gin caused the number of enslaved people to increase — and here’s why, very clearly:

The cotton gin (invented by Eli Whitney in 1793) made it much faster and easier to separate cotton fibers from seeds, especially with short-staple cotton, which could be grown across much more of the American South.

Before the cotton gin, cotton processing was so slow and labor-intensive that large-scale cotton farming wasn't practical in many regions.

After the cotton gin, cotton quickly became highly profitable. Planters expanded cotton cultivation massively across the Deep South (Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, etc.).

Even though the gin reduced labor needed to clean cotton, it dramatically increased the demand for labor to plant, cultivate, and harvest the cotton fields — which led directly to an increase in the demand for enslaved labor.

By 1860, cotton accounted for nearly 60% of U.S. exports, and the number of enslaved people in the South had exploded from about 700,000 in 1790 to nearly 4 million.

Law. Lawmakers are lawyers and will pass laws banning AI from taking their jobs
